I recently moved into a new house. There are several large gardens out front, but there is grass growing over all of them, they clearly haven't been tended to in a couple of years. I have never gardened before, and was wondering what to do.
-How do I get rid of the grass? Rip it out? Just turn the soil over?
-What are some flowers/plants/vegetables that would grow fast and require minimal tending?
-Any other tips for a beginning gardener?
